Very helpful and welcoming staff. Traditional, well-cared for decor. Very clean. Excellent bus links. Quiet surroundings, overlooking garden at back. Would have liked option for more cooked items at breakfast -especially porridge.

Run away from there!!!
Despite the manager kindness and the good breakfast, this guesthouse doesn't worth it at all. The first night we were given a room where the single bed was broken and it clearly just didn't happen(my 5 yo daughter couldn't lie downn without folding the mattress), the carpet was so ugly it glued my feet and it was so noisy I could guess the brand of every car in street! Second night after complaining we had another room which was better but anyway this is so old and broken I don't understand the 4 stars it's a complete lie!

Very nice and cozy place
CH is a wonderful place, very comfortable and cozy style. The host is a very friendly and welcoming guy and the location is good. The only issue is that the walls are thin which makes neighbors staying up late a bit disturbing, but that is the way with so many houses in England

Great place, reasonable price
Stayed four nights in single room in Sept 2020. Room was clean and quiet, and the host was very attentive and helpful. Only minor complaints were that the wifi cut out a few times and the parking lot is small, and thus required some maneuvering to get in and out of. But you're within walking distance of Summertown shopping, and a short drive into downtown Oxford. Will definitely stay here again. Thanks!

Best breakfast I've had in a long time and extremely charming and helpful manager. Good value, not far from downtown and off street parking, something hard to find in overpriced Oxford.

A room from the 1980's
The good: Location was close to bus stops, breakfast was good. The bad: The place is old and worn out. The rooms are small and cramped. The water pressure is so low it makes a shower feel like being peed on. The walls are so thin you can hear everything from the rooms on the other side. The beds are old and worn out. They make too much noise whenever someone moves in them. I would not stay again.

Small cosy cottage like house on the Banbury Road two miles from Oxford City centre. Easy to get to the city by bus or taxi. Parking in driveway. Need to take stairs to upstairs rooms. Family room a bit cramped but good sized bathroom. Very good breakfast. Friendly and helpful staff.

Liked the personal touch by Mark who rang me during the day, introduced himself and enquired how my day was going and when I was looking at arriving. The room was nice. However, the walls were slightly on the thin side as we could hear other guests talking. Breakfast was really good. Would definitely go back and would recommend.

Lovely Cotswold House in Oxford
I arrived at 1130 am. The host was very kind to let me park the car. He showed me the map how to go to Oxford downtown by bus and how to return. He told me to buy a one day bus pass which valid round the clock for 24 hours at £4.2. He was very cheerful and showed me the way where are the bus stop to and fro. When I return to the hotel, my luggage was in the room I had very good sleep. The breakfast was so delicious as it was freshly cooked.u would like to stay in the house again.
